I BOUGHT MY 2012 CHRYSLER 200 NEW. NOW HAVING HEATING ISSUE, HOT AIR ON THE DRIVER SIDE COLD AIR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I LIVE IN A NORTHEAST AND IT'S VERY COLD. I CAN'T GET THE CAR WARM ENOUGH FOR WINDSHIELD TO HEAT ON BOTH SIDES SO THAT IT DOESN'T ICE UP. THIS COULD BECOME A POTENTIAL HAZARD WHEN YOUR VISION IS RESTRICTED BECAUSE YOU CANT DEFROST YOUR WINDSHIELD DUE TO A DESIGN FLAW IN THE HEATER SYSTEM THAT CHRYSLER DOESN'T WANT TO HAVE TO REPAIR. ALSO MY KIDS ARE FREEZING IN THE BACK SEAT. HOW MANY HAVE TO BE INJURED OR KILLED FROM THIS DESIGN ISSUE AND OR TO HAVE A FACTORY RECALL DONE? OR KIDS WITH HYPOTHERMIA?

CHRYSLER 200 HEATING ISSUE, HOT AIR ON THE DRIVER SIDE COLD AIR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I LIVE IN A NORTHERN STATE AND IN THE WINTER ESPECIALLY DURING STORMS THE WINDSHIELD NEEDS TO BE HEATED ON BOTH SIDES SO THAT IT DOESN'T ICE UP. THIS COULD BECOME A POTENTIAL HAZARD WHEN YOUR VISION IS RESTRICTED BECAUSE YOU CANT DEFROST YOUR WINDSHIELD DUE TO A DESIGN FLAW IN THE HEATER SYSTEM THAT CHRYSLER DOESN'T WANT TO HAVE TO REPAIR. HOW MANY HAVE TO BE INJURED OR KILLED IN ORDER FOR THIS TO BECOME A DESIGN ISSUE AND HAVE A FACTORY RECALL DONE. NOTHING HAS HAPPEN TO US YET BUT TODAY IS THE FIRST STORM OF THE SEASON

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
I OWN A 2012 CHRYSLER 200, THE ENGINE STOPS/FAILS ABOUT EVERY TWO MONTHS WHILE BRAKING OR WHILE STOPPED. THIS IS DANGEROUS AS IT CAN STOP ANYWHERE AND THEY MIGHT REAR END THE CAR OR SOMETHING. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP 4 DIFFERENT TIMES WITH THE SAME ISSUE, THE FIRST TIME THEY CHANGED THE PCM. AFTER ABOUT 2 MONTHS THE CAR'S ENGINE STOPPED WHILE BRAKING OR WHILE AT A STOPLIGHT. THE 2ND AND 3RD TIME I TOOK THE CAR THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AND GAVE IT TO ME AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS. THE 4TH TIME WHEN I TOOK THE CAR THEY SAID THAT IT WAS THE BATTERY AND THEY PUT IN A NEW BATTERY. WELL ABOUT 2 DAYS AGO THE CAR STOPPED AGAIN WHILE AT A STOPLIGHT. I HAVE NOT TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AS THEY NEVER FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. I AM TIRED OF THEM NOT FINDING WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE CAR. I BELIEVE THAT I SPEAK FOR MANY CHRYSLER 200 OWNERS WHEN I SAY THAT AN INVESTIGATION NEEDS TO BE DONE FOR THE WHOLE CHRYSLER GROUP, ESPECIALLY TO THE 200, WHICH HAVE MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE AND NONE ONE SEEMS TO FIND THE SOLUTION. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS FOR THE SAFETY OF THE DRIVERS. I AM SO SICK AND TIRED OF THE MOPAR MECHANICS NOT FINDING ANYTHING. I DO NOT KNOW IF THE ISSUE IS WITH THE PCM, COMPUTER, OR ENGINE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE.

SEAT BELTS
ORIGINAL OWNER SINCE 6.28.12 MILEAGE CURRENTLY 41,145 AS OF 12.21.15. SEAT BELT FRONT, DRIVER'S SIDE SLACKENED AND NO LONGER RESTRAINS DRIVER. BELT WILL NOT "LOCK" WHEN VEHICLE IS IN GEAR. ALSO DOES NOT RETRACT ANY LONGER, THUS MAKING IT NON-FUNCTIONAL. DEALER SAYS IT WILL NOT REPAIR THIS SAFETY ISSUE, SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED 41 MONTHS AGO AND HAS 5,100 MILES BEYOND STANDARD WARRANTY. AS REQUIRED SAFETY EQUIPMENT, AND RESEARCH ON INTERNET STATES, IT SEEMS THIS SHOULD BE COVERED FOR TEN YEARS, 100K MILES.

WHILE ACCELERATING AFTER CROSSING A BUSY STATE HIGHWAY THE CAR "JERKED" AND THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. ( PRIOR TO THIS I WAS IDLING AT A STOP SIGN AND I PROCEEDED STRAIGHT ACROSS THE ROAD. ) I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF IMMEDIATELY MOVING TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHEN THE CAR LOST ALL POWER AND SHUT ITSELF OFF. I DID NOT INITIALLY TRY TO RESTART THE CAR BUT ONCE I RETURNED TO IT IN A COUPLE OF HOURS I WAS ABLE TO START THE ENGINE. THE INDICATOR LIGHT REMAINED ON. I DID NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE BUT HAD IT TOWED TO A SERVICE STATION. THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 80.000 MILES.

POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AND NOT PERFORMING THE WAY IT SHOULD. SOMETIMES MY CAR SHIFTS HARD AND SOMETIMES IT WON'T SHIFT OUT UNTIL IT REACHES 5 OR 6000 RPMS WHICH IS ALMOST IN THE RED ZONE. WHEN GOING UP A HILL OR INCLINE IT HESITATES AND JERKS. I CALLED SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT THERE WERE MULTIPLE CARS AHEAD OF MINE THAT WERE JUST SITTING THERE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WERE WAITING ON A CALL FROM CORPORATE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. TO THIS DAY IT HAS NOT HAPPENED. ALSO, MY AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR ALMOST FOUR MONTHS NOW. THEY SAID THEY DID NOT HAVE A FIX FOR IT YET. JUST RECENTLY THERE IS A KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE DASHBOARD. AN ONGOING PROBLEM HAS BEEN THE NOISE FROM THE FRONT BRAKES WHEN I AM BACKING UP. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO FIX YET FOR THAT PROBLEM. AS OF THIS DAY, THERE STILL IS NO FIX FOR IT. I AM STILL DRIVING MY CAR BECAUSE I CAN'T JUST LEAVE IT TO SIT AT THE DEALERSHIP WAITING ON REPAIRS. AS YOU ALL KNOW, THEY DO NOT GIVE OUT LOANER VEHICLES ANY MORE AT LEAST NOT IN ARKANSAS.

SERVICE BRAKES, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I PURCHASED A 2012 CHRYSLER 200 FROM CARMAX LOCATED IN MEMPHIS TENNESSE BACK IN JULY 6, 2015. AFTER A FEW DAYS OF PURCHASE I NOTICED THE BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. I TOOK THE CAR BACK IN IMMEDIATELY FOR SERVICE AND THE SERVICE MANAGER ADVISED IT WAS JUST A SMALL PROBLEM AND ASSURED ME THAT IT WAS FIXED. IN AUGUST I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND TOOK IT BACK TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ( PLEASE BE ADVISED I AM EMPLOYED AND I HAVE TO DRIVE FROM PINE BLUFF TO MEMPHIS) AT THAT TIME THE SERVICE MANAGER ADVISED THAT IT WAS SOME KIND OF FLUID AND THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. THIS WAS ALL DONE DURING THE FACTORY WARRANTY. ON NOVEMBER 8, 2015 MY BRAKES BEGAN TO DRAG AND WAS BARELY STOPPING I TOOK IT BACK TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND DEMANDED FOR THE PROBLEM TO BE FIXED BACK TO FACTORY PROFECTION. MR. JOE BROWN ADVISED THAT IT WOULD BE COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY BUT I ADVISED THAT THE CAR WAS NEVER REPAIRED CORRECTLY UNDER FACTORY WARRENTY. I HAD TO PAY A 50.00 DOLLAR DEDUCTIBLE AND FIFTY TOWARDS A RENTAL CAR DEPOSIT. I WAS CALLED ON 11/13/2015 AND ADIVSED THAT MY CAR WAS READY. I COULDN'T PICK THE CAR UP UNTIL SATURDAY MORNING 11/14/2015. WHEN I CAME TO RETREVE MY CAR MY CAR WAS JUST SITTING IN THE PARKING LOT AND NO SERVICE WORKER WAS THERE TO DRIVE THE CAR WITH ME TO ENSURE THAT IT WAS WORKING PROPERLY. IN CONCLUSION MY BRAKES ARE STILL NOT WORKING AND IT COULD HAVE CAUSED ME MY LIFE ON THIS MORNING 11/17/2015. THE BRAKES ARE WORSE. I AM IN TEARS BECAUSE I AM A RECENT GRADUATE AND I AM WORKING TO PAY BILLS AND STUDENT LOANS. THIS IS WHAT PLACE AMERICAN PEOPLE IN PROVERTY WHEN SOMEONE SALES YOU SOMETHING AND IT ONLY WORKS FOR A SHORT PERIOD AND YOU PAY FOR WARRENTY AND THAT DOESNT HELP NEITHER. PLEASE HELP.

ENGINE, STEERING
CAR DIES FOR NO APPARENT REASON AND DURING ANY TYPE DRIVING. OF COURSE, WHEN MOTOR DIES POWER STEERING IS LOST. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IN THE HEAVY AUSTIN TRAFFIC THAT I DRIVE IN. MAY JUST SHUT DOWN ON A MAJOR OVERPASS WITH NO WHERE TO GO. THIS VEHICLE PUTS MY LIFE AND FAMILIES LIFE IN DANGER. THIS SHUT DOWN CAN HAPPEN AT 10 MPH OR AT 60 MPH OR ABOVE. I TRY TO BYPASS MAJOR HIGHWAYS IN AUSTIN EVEN THOUGH IT MAY BE SEVERAL MILES OUT OF THE WAY, AND SO FAR HAVE BEEN ABLE TO AVOID ANY PROBLEMS. IT SEEMS RIDICULOUS TO HAVE TO TRAVEL LIKE THIS. MY CAR ENGINE IS A 2.4L AND I KNOW THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON CHRYSLER'S 3.6 L ENGINE IN THE 200, BUT I BELIEVE THIS ENGINE NEEDS TO ALSO BE RECALLED
